I found out earlier this year that Oak Tara Publishing was closing their doors. With them, I had five novels published. I felt led to take time to refreshen each of those novels and have them re-released. It's amazing how much things have changed electronically over the past ten years, but it's been a joy re-reading the stories and updating different parts. I hope those who've never read these books will take the opportunity to do so. And if any of you - even those who've read the old ones, have a Kindle, you'll be able to read them for free. I love that, because that's why I write--for people to read and enjoy.
Crime in The Big Easy was rereleased August 2018. I'm hoping to complete the updated version of After You're Gone with the new title -- Second Chances. It is a beautiful romance, and it's all about second chances, so what better title could it have. Feed back on the first title told me it led people to believe the book was a sad, depressing story. Sorry. It wasn't. I believe it was a beautiful, happy book, but not enough people gave it a chance. They were put off by the title. SO I'm giving that book a second chance. LOL I hope you receive it well.
God's also given me three other ideas for three new books.
If I can do what He's shown me, one will be BOOK 2 for John and Taylor, characters from Crime in The Big Easy. Everyone used to always ask me, when are you going to write another book for John and Taylor. Those were two characters you couldn't help but fall in love with...them and their romance, in between John solving a case and Taylor getting in the middle of it. My answer was always, when God gives me another story for them. And now He has.
Another one will be BOOK 2 of the YA fiction series, a novel for the Cooper Parks' Adventures line. Coop and Bailee have more to share with their readers and can't wait to catch up with them again. So much goes on in High School these days. Unfortunately, some things make headlines.
The third will be a stand-alone mystery/suspense. All new characters, hopefully ones who will pull you, the reader, into their happenings.
I'm hoping to complete all three during the year 2019. It will be a challenge, but I believe He will help make it happen...since all three were His idea anyway. 😀 Through my fiction, the Lord wants you the reader to enjoy the storyline and be entertained, but mostly He wants ya'll to know He loves you, and He's always here for you.
Thanks for being so patient with me. I used to blog regularly, but over the past four years, since Scott's death, it's been hard emotionally. I'm hoping this time I will keep blogging so I can stay in touch with you my reader. God bless you all.
I'm attaching a picture of me with my four grandchildren, and future granddaughter-in-law. 😊 I'm believing so. I've also learned a few months ago I'll have a fifth grandchild before the end of 2018. It's so exciting. See, I told you my life was getting better and better.
Thanks again for being a part of my writing life.
